BBC has a summary here of some of the main parts of the Trump-Russia connection.
The sheer number of different things connecting Trump to the Kremlin seems incredible.
His campaign chair Paul Manafort was forced to resign due to his Russian links.
Now his national security adviser Michael Flynn has been forced to resign due to his Russian links.
Two more of Trump's advisers are looking super-dubious with regard to Russian links: Carter Page, and Rex Tillerson.
Meanwhile the 'compromising dossier' about Trump's own Russian links has grown more credible by the week, with various incidental facts in the dossier (who talked to whom and on what day) being corroborated, and the person who wrote the dossier being revealed to be a highly-trusted British MI6 agent who is an expert on Russia.
Trump and his son have both claimed at times in the past to have had extensive business dealings with Russia, and Trump continues to refuse to release his tax returns which would detail such business dealings and offers fake excuses instead. And the timeline of the DNC hacks and Trump's campaign doesn't look innocent either.
It took 2 years of extensive media investigation to get to the bottom of Watergate after it happened. It will be interesting to see just how far down the rabbit hole goes on this one, and just how many people in Trump's administration the scandal claims.
